Abstract

A photo detecting device, includes a plurality of photodiodes arranged above a substrate, a lower electrode and a first inorganic insulating film that are provided between the substrate and the photodiodes in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the substrate, and an upper electrode provided above the photodiodes. Each of the photodiodes comprises an active layer, a first carrier transport layer provided between the active layer and the lower electrode, and a second carrier transport layer provided between the active layer and the upper electrode, the first inorganic insulating film is provided between the lower electrode and the first carrier transport layer, and the first inorganic insulating film covers at least an end on an outer edge side of the lower electrode.

Claims (25)

1 . A photo detecting device, comprising:

a plurality of photodiodes arranged above a substrate;

a lower electrode and a first inorganic insulating film that are provided between the substrate and the photodiodes in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the substrate; and
